I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and went to edit some code on a legacy Rails app (1.2.5) and found that the views cause a crash when trying to render the 'truncate' text helper. I took them out and it rendered fine. How do you fix this? Are there other methods that might see the same issue? ...

What happens is that the request.uri is for the AJAX request which screws up and doesn't render what's exp...
Hi all, It seems that a great way to build an app might be to identify all the horizontal / domain-independent pieces that don't already exist in the form of gems, plugins or engines, and commission an outsourcing firm to build those pieces in complete isolation from the rest of the code base. So let's assume a plugin is a great way. ...
Hello, I'm building a CMS with various modules (blog, calendar, etc.) using Rails 2.3. Each module is handled by a different controller and that works just fine. The only problem I have is with the root URL. Depending on the configuration chosen by the user, this default URL should show a different module i.e. a different controller, b...

Hi, I'm sending friends invitations and I want to validate email address using User.validates_format_of :email, except that User.email has a couple of other validations which I'm not really interested in. So is there a way to run a single validation on a model or check if that specific validation has passed (without doing user.errors...
I have a some code in an engine style plugin which includes some models. In my app I want to extend one of these models. I have managed to add both instance and class methods to the model in question by including a module from within an initializer. However I cannot seem to add associations, callbacks etc. I get a 'method not found' er...
If I have T-SQL (or a stored proc) that returns records from multiple tables (using DBI perhaps), is there a way for me to manually instantiate the ActiveRecord models and their associations? Obviously, I’m after database performance here. I would like to be able to build my own object hierarchy (models and their relationships), but wh...

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm missing a known design pattern, but I keep coming up against the following problem with RESTful routes Rails. In my example, I have a users controller that can respond in javascript (:js) format. The default response populates a page element with a list of the paginated users: # /app/controllers/users_controlle...
Edit: Well maybe this can give a clue. When created a Rails app in cPanel on my web host, in order to access the app you need to create a rewrite rule. Which I did, but didn't know what it did. I tracked it down to it creating the following 2 files: home/mydomain/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydoma...
When trying to install the mysql gem from cPanel on my website, I get an error saying that the gem requires Ruby >= 1.8.6. This is a shared server and the version of Ruby is 1.8.5 and can't be upgraded. I do not have shell access and it seems the only way for me to install a gem is through the list of gems within cPanel. How can I get m...

I was putting together a quick inline editing feature in my first Rails app and just as I was getting it working it occurred to me that I may be violating RESTful principles. The edit updated an image name. To do so, it submits, via PUT to Image#update and passes the new modified name as image[name]. The database gets updated properly,...
